Great location, room, service and breakfast.
Pros:

The hotel is located in a quiet courtyard with greenery, while still being very close to many restaurants and walking distance to the beach. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the breakfast which included eggs, yogurt, bread, tea coffee with more.

Pros:

Very nice boutique hotel in a very quiet area but still very close to the beach and restaurants and bars. We stayed for 5 nights and unfortunately were given a rather small room. The staff is lovely and speaks very good English. Breakfast was good. We had a small misunderstanding with the reception lady who helped us book a trip to Casablanca valley for wine tasting and we would have preferred a bit more transparency on the price. It was still really nice and we had a great time though we had to pay more than told in the end. The restaurant affiliated with the hotel was recommended by the staff and did not disappoint. It was delicious!
